laptop lags a lot

[G9XFTW]

My new VIVOBOOK 16 with Ryzen 5 and rtx 3050 lags in general use. Compared to my R5 2600 and R7 5700x, the experience is usually about waiting 10secs for a lot of things. I don't think this laptop is supposed to run this way. What can I do to boost its performance? its Standard windows 11 home.

Are the temps okay?

Idle on battery with few Edge tabs open. Word document & excel:

CPu- 50c

Because it's a lagtop

What exactly is lagging, and what's your CPU ?

The 3050M is half the performance of the 5700XT, so no wonder it games slower...

LinkedIn is running like ass. The words appear 20secs after typing. General navigation in file explorer is noticeably stuttery. Not as snappy compared to my dekstop which has a SATA 3 SSD. Websites load slower at times.

Reinstall a clean version of windows without asus bloatware. Simpy download Windows 11 (I guess you use windows 11): https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

Use a usb drive to make a bootable USB, using media creation tool. Windows licence key should be stored on the PC. Boot from the USB and install windows. You can download drivers for the laptop from Asus' support page. I would also recommend disabling automatic installation of drivers and instead installing them manually.

Please check the version of your laptop, this is just an example.

Windows reinstall time!

 

That or return it as it may actually be defective.

Definitely not normal !! seems Windows is buggy indeed, you should reinstall it as others already advised
